Clinical features of ataxia
This presentation explores chronic, slowly progressive ataxias, differentiating between genetic and non-genetic causes. Key diagnostic clues include age of onset, progression rate, and family history. We examine various ataxia types, from SCAs and Friedreich ataxia to MSA and gluten ataxia, highlighting diagnostic approaches and emerging treatment strategies. Rehabilitation and dietary interventions are also discussed.
